Dove & Ashbourne Railway

The Dove & Ashbourne Railway was a short railway line in England, built in the 19th century to connect Ashbourne with the main railway network. It aimed to facilitate the transport of goods and passengers between the rural town and larger cities. The line featured a narrow gauge track and operated for several decades, but like many small rural railways, it eventually closed due to competition from road transport and changing economic factors. Today, remnants of the railway serve as historical reminders of regional transportation development during that era.
